[lace] Lace teachers
I started teaching lace in the early 1970s, I knew little and had to work had to keep ahead of my students. Like Alex, I too started teaching in the early 1970's with very little knowledge and protested to my teacher Nenia Lovesey that I had insufficient knowledge. She insisted that I would be fine but I was extremely nervous! What many of you don't know is that I began my lacemaking career teaching bobbin lace and I recently found three pillows with unfinished pieces of bobbin lace on them; one a Beds collar with raised leaves over a half stitch background, one a narrow Bucks edging and the third with a fairly wide torchon pattern and all my lovely bone antique bobbins! I am known for my needlelace and would have no idea how to complete these pieces started so many years ago but would have no problem whatsoever in asking my old students (should I ever get the opportunity) to help me out! Students love nothing more than when their tutor makes a mistake! I would openly admit to having made a mistake but of course would correct it and it showed my students that I was not a dragon but only human like themselves and I believe they found this comforting. Nenia Lovesey would frequently quote 'Poor is the student who cannot surpass his master' by Leonardo da Vinci and has written this quotation in the front of a book she once gave me. I should love to have had a student who was better than myself and young enough to pass on the knowledge gained from me to future generations. I have had several excellent students over the years but sadly all have been of a similar age to myself. The last thing I want is all the knowledge and expertise that I have gained over some forty years or so, to die when I leave this world - what a waste! I believe that unless a teacher is prepared to give all, then he/she should not be teaching. I do not insist that a student does things my way but always ask that they do at least try. After all, what is the point of paying good money to attend a class if a student is not prepared to learn a different way of doing something? I always ask that they try my method but that if it doesn't work for them I will be happy for them to continue doing it their own way. At least I have tried but 'You can lead a horse to water . . . . . .' and sometimes it can be very frustrating but one just has to ignore it.

Re: [lace] Lace teachers
Thanks to all who've shared their experiences of lace teaching and/or lace teachers. I've had two very different lace teachers for regular classes: I was lucky enough to start with Marie Kell in Leeds back in the early 80's. Marie used a progression of patterns, each one introducing a new technique or techniques, each with written instructions so we could carry on at home until we found a difficult bit or something we didn't understand. That way, I always came to the next class knowing what I needed explained or demonstrated. Once a student had mastered the basics of torchon, she would suggest it was time to try beds then maybe bucks point, and so on. As one became more proficient, we were given more choice of patterns/techniques to move on to. I only had about 18 months in Marie's class before we moved to the other side of the country, but by then she'd taught me enough to be able to carry on with the help of books. Which was just as well, because family commitments and lack of transport meant I didn't have chance to go to lace classes for about another 10 years! When I did join another class it was more for company and inspiration than for the teaching as I'd got used to working things out from books. My current teacher is a lovely person, a wonderful lacemaker (when she gets chance to make any lace of her own) and a great source of ideas and patterns, but when it comes to teaching beginners... No written instructions/diagrams (so practice at home is limited to what they can remember without) or suggestions for a book to refer to, not much order or progression in the choice of patterns (so students miss out on some of the basic techniques) and she demonstrates things so fast most of us can't see how they were done... some students attempt patterns way beyond their skills and get discouraged, others never attempt anything beyond the simplest torchon - and some of those never learn to start, finish or turn a simple corner unaided (those who do learn are the ones who've found a good book or two to use between classes). We've also lost a fair few beginners by the wayside (I know of at least one ex-pupil who still wants to have another go at lacemaking, but not with that teacher). We're a private class, but with a slightly unusual set up - it's the students who do all the organisation and pay the room hire and the teacher (we work out the total cost for the term and divide it by the number of people who've signed up). Our numbers have dropped to the point where we can probably no longer afford the teacher, but I suspect some of us will find it very difficult to carry on lacemaking as part of a mutual-help group because, even after 10 or 15 years they still lack the knowledge/confidence to work independently. I can't help wondering whether if J's teaching skills had been as good as her lacemaking ones we might actually still have a viable class - and at least if we were too few to continue we could carry on by ourselves.

Coronet fans: there are more than three passive pairs in the coronet fan, with twists in the worker between passive pairs 1 and 2 and 2 and 3, (working from the edge in) but no twists between the lower ones.

We've also lost a fair few beginners by the wayside (I know of at least one ex-pupil who still wants to have another go at lacemaking, but not with that teacher). In my many years of experience as a teacher I have learned that no two students progress at the same rate, which makes a structured teaching plan required by Adult Education Authorities, a complete waste of time! Some students will sail through this lesson plan whilst others will struggle beyond belief. Many want to be 'spoon fed' and I guess they feel that's what they are paying for but will not do a single stitch between classes and openly admit to all and sundry in the class that they have not touched their bobbins/needle since last class, but will say weekly/monthly to the tutor What have you new for us to see this week/month? If a student is really keen to learn, they will go home and practise and try to work out for themselves how to do something. This is what 'sorts the men out from the boys' so to speak. They can't bear to wait a whole week/month to find out what to do next and they are the type of student who quickly moves on to become a tutor themselves. When a student just can't grasp how to do something ie. the diamond formation in Venetian Gros Point, which they can follow quite clearly whilst I am demonstrating to them and doing all the counting, I continue to work their sample but have them sitting next to me telling ME what I should do next. This way, they are thinking for themselves and not following 'parrot fashion' what I am telling them. We get out of life what we put into it, and if a student asks their teacher to show them how to start or finish a piece, and she refuses to do so, for whatever reason, then they should find another tutor. I don't teach every type of needlelace but if a student asks me a technique that I do not know, I openly admit this and offer to do my best but suggest that they go to Mrs . or Mrs . who is expert in this particular field. It's no use pretending otherwise because students are not stupid and will soon realise that the teacher is not quite what they were looking for.

RE: [lace] Little crown fan
This is jolly hard to explain in words!!! In a Coronet fan, the workers are taken through the passives and round a pin - but those inside pins are all (roughly) in a vertical row, at least according to The Lace Guild's Torchon Assessment book. The workers travel backwards and forwards through the same number of pairs of passives, except for the first and last row of the fan. In a Little Crown Fan, that inner row of pinholes is staggered - they are not anything like straight. In addition, at the inside pinhole of each row, a pair is left out (in the same manner as a Spanish or fir tree fan). So the workers travel through one less pair of passives each row until the middle of the fan, then one extra pair of passives for each row until the completion of the fan. I've never seen this type of fan in any published book at all (with the exception of the Australian Lace Guild magazine)I've tried in vain to find out where they came from, and so I've come to the conclusion that yes, it is a fan which is peculiar to Australia. These fans have been on the Australian proficiency assessment list of requirements for at least 26 years, and every year I answer at least one query from a prospective candidate about where to find a pattern.

It is a rather good writeup considering the reporter knew nothing about the art when she did the interview. The archives do not show all the pictures that were in the printed article.

Oh Alice, that's a lovely article, and the reporter certainly made a lot of pretty accurate notes - which is more than most of them do!

Re: [lace-chat] news story on Alice in Oregon
Hi Alice! I have to say that your newspaper did a decent job. There were some glaring errors... tying your threads, for example... but that was their failure to understand the process. Still, it was a fine article, and you should be proud!! And, BTW, the picture of the tablecloth edging... it's very pretty! Has it been finished, or is it still a WIP? I've seen (and been featured in...) much, much, MUCH worse!! ; ) Clay Clay Blackwell Lynchburg, VA, USA Alice Howell wrote: My husband just found that the write up on me and my bobbin lace in 2006 is in the online archives at our local newspaper.
